Come out and join others for informal chat. Sometimes we just want to chill and hang out, and it would be soo cool if we could make a new friend or two.

Coffee & Chat
host - Zilog Darkcore

the new social experience designed for people who want to chat.

TOMORROW!! May 1st, the HG Safari gang will be touring our very own Haven Of Memories region. This region is dedicated to preserving the beautiful memories of those loved ones, family members and friends, human or pet, who have gone through the portal of the ages and crossed over the rainbow bridge, not with a goodbye but "Until We Meet Again". Join HG Safari for this tour of a beautiful region that is created and designed with special consideration and love for others. The whole Safari begins with with a trip to Pangea grid where Karsten Runningbear invites everyone to explore his vehicle workshop, where he scripts all kinds of transportation - bike, car, plane, and boat - even a special seaplane that lands realistically on water! Bring your physical vehicle script questions, and be ready to crash a few times. After that, I will guide you through a tour of genesis grid's memorial region where people can go to remember loved ones. I will explain the motivation behind the build. Join us for the HG Safari tour. Wednesday, May 1st beginning at 12 noon pacific (SLT aka grid) time. The tour start point is hg.osgrid.org:80:HG Safari - grab a notecard with the LM list on it and jump in the tour. I look forward to seeing you all there!

What is this little island?

Dreams

This little island can help people live their virtual dreams:
terraforming
building
landscaping

yes...this island is Dreams

approx 1 sim in size,
water is connected to entire grid for amazing sailing
10,000 prim
rent free!

However, we are very selective about who we add at friends-grid. We do not want house collectors who get free land on every grid...then never use it. That is a waste of our time and resources.

If you want to make this your main home and be an active part of a growing community , then maybe we should talk.....

about this little island making YOUR dreams come true.

I have scripted an absolutely gorgeous vendor board. I've left it in my sandbox, where you can take a copy, right in the center. It's very low cpu usage. It works perfectly. You must put at least 6 items in it. You also put the pictures in it. Name the pictures the same thing as the items, but put a period in front of the picture texture name. That's all there is to it. It's very smooth, sleek, and sharp. Definitely the way to modernize a lot of these old dated vendors you see in so many malls these days. :)

A new season of Safari began on Wednesday - thanks to all friends, old and new, who joined us to visit CyberGlo on Wizardry and then Jimmy Olsen on Europa, with Xenon Darrow guiding us around Jimmy's build - both spectacular and informative places.
Here's the Safari blog posts, telling our story - plus, a few pics of the really lovely build by Lampithaler that premiered yesterday.

*if that link isn't working for you IM me (Koshari Mahana) in world and I'll send you a LM.

This week a resident commented to me:

"I cannot believe people here actually talk to eachother...these are real people!
This is not like where I used to live......the people there were not real people"


friends-grid......we are a collection of real people and cultures.

*friends-grid does use animesh for atmosphere, but does not and will not use bots to alter traffic counts. I applaud the grids and regions who refuse to use fake traffic!

The most recent addition to Stag Hollow, the Saw Mill. This is the interior of a mid 19th century water powered saw mill with a large circular blade. We are trying to keep things in this region as close to the era and history as possible to give it a more authentic feeling.

I believe I have asked this before, what is the big deal about traffic report ranking? Is there a cash prize, an award ceremony, a trophy cup, a free pro-version of opensimworld.com?

All this fussing about rank and ratings for what?

♥ Enjoy and you're welcome ♥

VWEC Hypergrid Quarterly Meeting @ Kitely!

Use the included SLURL above or grab the landmark at the VWEC region in Wolf Territories! See ya there!

I can't believe we are opening in SIX Days!!
When you come to the party, be sure to have Shared Environment enabled with graphics as high as your rig will allow so you can see the beautiful sky and the shadows.
DJ Kith from Wyldwood Bayou will be spinning the music from female musicians over several decades, 70s-90s in honor of women in Open Sim.
My exhibit consists of portraits I have taken of women who have contributed to Open Sim in significant ways, entitled, "Sculpting Prims: Female Visionaries In Open Sim." This exhibit is to honor and acknowledge the work of women that often goes unnoticed and shine a light on their many accomplishments.
My exhibit is only a part of the opening as we also have several talented artists exhibiting their work you don't want to miss.
Come one, Come all!! We can't wait to see you there!

After we were able to see how a club pushed itself up in the ranking from 9 to 2, possibly 1 tomorrow.
it's time to say, nice but useless to keep this ranking. Please Mr. Opensim . remove this !!!

this will help many generated people in Opensim.

oh yes I am back from vacation.

Come on down and pick up the latest Simona Body.. we still have it rigged for Athena, we still have auto alpha, we still have flat nipples and 5 feet choices.. but we have reduced the complexity on it. All the clothes in most of the stores will work with this body.. Xara Store only works with the Xara body and well Swank is for men..lol
